Delectable Treats for Every Type of Valentine

Posted: Wed, Feb 10, 2016

It's always fun to celebrate Valentine’s Day with homemade desserts and other treats. Making special treats for the special people in your life can be a great way to show them how much you care. Whether you're making treats for your children, a best friend or your sweetheart, we've got ideas for treats for every type of Valentine.

For Your Kids

Wake your kids up for a special Valentine’s breakfast. Use a cookie cutter or pancake mold to create heart-shaped pancakes. Add strawberries, chocolate chips and a little whipped cream to make it extra special (and tasty!). If you have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, you can cut toast into a heart shape. Use raspberry or strawberry jam or colored sprinkles to make it look festive. You can even make kiddie mimosas, too, using sparkling grape juice and orange juice.

For Your Bestie

Make something for your friends to show how loved they are, especially if you are both without a significant other on this lovey-dovey holiday. You can make Valentine Blondie bars with pink and red candies on top or a chocolate molten lava cake that oozes chocolate out of its center. If you want to go with something healthier, you can opt for things like fudgy mocha chocolate chip avocado brownies or cherry cacao nib snack bars. You and your friends can share all the sweets while binging on romantic comedies for the day.

For Your Family

Treat your parents to something amazing by making sure they have a good meal without having to do any of the cooking. You can make a brown sugar chicken dish in the crockpot. Get it all prepped for them so you can leave and they will be able to have a yummy dinner alone whenever they're ready. You can impress them even further by having a bottle of champagne chilling for them as well. We recommend a drier brut to go with this recipe.

For Your Significant Other

Whether you go out to dinner or not, choose to have a special homemade treat at home with your sweetheart. Chocolate covered strawberries are always a great choice — they are a Valentine's Day classic and easy to make. Or get a little creative with strawberry cream pie, chocolate soufflé, or even chocolate mint chia pudding parfaits if you want to be a little healthier.

Valentine's Day is a special day of the year to show someone how much you love them. Try some of these homemade treats when it's just the two of you, and count on Panosh Kosher Catering to help with any catering needs for large festivities, too.
